   Generator
   Definition (undergraduate level) A set H of generators for a group G is a set of elements of G with the property that any element of G can be made by multiplying together one or more elements of H .<br /> For a given group, there may be many different generator sets. For a cyclic group we can find a generator set with only one element.
